It's the same. That music is so catchy, maybe that's why he's using it again.

Dornbush

[auser]

While admiring his skating, Eurosports commentators wondering why Dornbush hasn't made more of a mark. He's only been a senior skater for a couple of seasons, right? Give a young skater some room to grow.

 

[ortemis]

Go adam and javier!

 

[mikiandorocks]

Underwhelming first group. All skaters did mistakes and everybody is virtually tied.
